Interestingly, that does not seem to work with SSL version of Google.
- senko 15y agoBrowsers strip Referer if the protocol is HTTP but the referrer's URL was HTTPS, to prevent the information about the resource just being left leak. If WSJ checks Referer and explicitly allows Google to pass, it won't see it if you're coming from HTTPS.
- 0x0 15y agoOnly if the link target is non-HTTPS, I believe. HTTPS-to-HTTPS requests includes referer headers, even across domains.
- thelibrarian 15y agoBrowsers do not send referrer headers is the referrer is an SSL site.
